So bad, in fact, that owner Bud Adams has not only offered the Super Bowl winning quarterback a blank check, but a "contract for life."

Adams explained that even though 35-year-old Manning only has a few more solid playing years left in the NFL, he has made the "promise Manning could be part of the Tennessee Titans' organization after his playing days are through."

He's not worried about the quarterback's neck injury that left him unable to play for the Colts last season either! "I'm only concerned how strong it is in September, when he starts the regular season," the 89-year-old told sources.
